JHC Gmac you must own a reamer company!
And a die company too.
They are cheaper by the dozen, some were passed down some financed ( really in early, early days my fee for fitting a barrel was the reamer.i think I have almost 100 now GOD I FEEL OLD

Baryngl, only if u r worthy, yes i do i do have 6/06ackley 40 degree
It 6-06 burns barrels but i was thinking a redux with a 8 twist
Gary
WOW I have to admit, I was not expecting this can of worms, quiet they eclectic collection we have here of characters and calibers ;D
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
Only Savage rebarrels I have done are what someone would consider "normal" (6.5x55, .308)
But, I did rebarrel my AR15 in 6mm-.223
I happen to have a 6mm-06 Improved. It is probably the wierdest but also have 22-250 AI and 6mm AI, both with 1 in 8 twists.
So how do you get your Savage to handle the rimmed rounds (219 zip, 45-70, etc.?) Would love to see pics of that!Originally Posted by Gmac5
Ide really love to get a 45 acp savage going. Ive seen pics of projects on here before but it was.single shot. Ide be interested in seeing how to fit a double stack mag or maybe even single stack 1911 mag into the mag well or modify a DBM have one welded onto it. That just sounds like to much fun shooting steel at medium range!
Brian
Rimmed cases are a bit tricky to feed but not as bad as u would think.that is, once i started using the lee enfield follower,or one made near its specs.
On the 30/30s now i use 30 rem brass its one of the most easy to make accurate and most forgiving.
The 45acp is single stack 1911 mag fitted into a single shot stock cut tight enough for the mag and modified orig 1922 mag release ( kind of )
22 BR
35 Whelen
6.5 x 55
22-250 AI
With all the odd calibers that have been listed here, the two I posted almost seem everyday run of the mill.

Damn, the only thing I've done lately is a 22-6mm 1 in 8.
